The Dylan Garden

Behind the stately façade of The Dylan Amsterdam, on the Keizersgracht, lies one of the best-kept secrets of the city: The Dylan Garden. This intimate inner garden feels like a hidden oasis amid the bustle of the Nine Streets. Surrounded by historic façades, greenery and stylish terraces, it is the perfect place for a relaxed lunch, a good glass of wine or an extensive dinner in the open air. The garden is served by Bar Brasserie OCCO and is loved by both hotel guests and Amsterdammers who know where to go. As soon as you walk through the gate, the hectic pace of the city suddenly seems very far away.

Where does the name come from?

The name is easy to explain: the garden belongs to The Dylan Amsterdam, the luxury boutique hotel on the Keizersgracht. The hotel itself derives its name from a contemporary image, while it is located on a historic site where the first theatre of Amsterdam once stood. The garden is therefore simply called The Dylan Garden.

The very best fun fact

What many people do not know is that in this hidden inner garden you are literally sitting among centuries of Amsterdam history. The Dylan consists of a historic complex where theatre was once performed and which later had various functions. Today you enjoy a drink in a place that is virtually invisible from the canal – a real hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam.
